Considering Dr. Joseph Zucker and Stanly Regional Medical Center for surgery? You may want to consider my experience and other patient reviews before committing. On 2/6/2012, I filed a complaint about Zucker with the NC Medical Board. That board does not reveal the existence or nature of complaints to it, but here is the gist of mine. On 12/20/2011, Zucker replaced my hip joint at Stanly Regional Medical Center in Albemarle, NC. I was left with no control of my leg or foot below my knee. Nerves in my leg were damaged from my hip to my foot. Walking is extremely painful and I must lift my foot abnormally high to keep my toes from scraping on the floor or ground and to keep from tripping. Normal sleep is no longer possible for me because of sever foot pain. My present neurosurgeon has said my condition would be permanent and that my pain may be permanent. Emotionally, I experience increasing depression, fear, and anxiety. Driving my car was impossible because I could not engage the clutch. So I used my meager funds to buy a different car. There are numerous medical expenses that I pay. Stanly Regional Medical Center and Zucker have, so far, billed $44,570.64 for the job they did on me. It is too late for me. I am permanently crippled. But you still have time to do your homework and make correct decisions.

Dr. Zucker did an amazing job of saving several fan mutilated fingers on my hand.
